Moving from one home to another is very stressful, both when you are house hunting and when you are moving from one home to another. First, you may feel overwhelmed and confused by the number of houses available, their different designs, and amenities. What's worse is if there is a mismatch between what's on offer and what you want.
Home removal involves packing, transporting, and unpacking all your stuff once you have found your dream home - hopefully, one that you love. In addition to handling all the heavy lifting and much of the work involved with moving, a professional Sydney removalist company could be of great help to you. Whether you're a first-time mover or an old pro, moving can be stressful and draining.
There's nothing to worry about! You are covered by us. You may be experiencing stress due to your Sydney move, but here are 10 tips to help you reduce it.
Unused items should be sold!
Many of us keep items for sentimental or practical reasons, such as thinking we may need that cake cutter or welding machine in the future. This not only clutters your old home (and will clutter your new one), but also creates extra work when you move.
Whether you live in the inner suburbs or the outer suburbs, you can have a garage sale for your items and sell them at a fair, discounted price. If you move with fewer belongings, your moving costs may also be lower.
Storing Items
Your new home could benefit from storage solutions in Sydney, which can reduce the number of items you need to pack, transport, and unpack. Whether you are keeping items for sentimental reasons or because you are keeping things for your children, you can reduce some of the stress of moving by choosing cheap short- and long-term storage, this is especially important for interstate removals.
Plan your move!
The most challenging aspect of moving is usually packing, which can take longer than you think. As early as possible, create your moving plan to help you cope with the stress of packing up your home.
With this plan, you'll stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything, such as preparing a moving day survival kit with all the necessities you'll need during the move and before you unpack everything. An overnight bag, favourite toys for your children, phone chargers, keys, snacks, bottles of water, and whatever else you might need would be included in the survival kit.
Choosing a Quality Sydney Removalist
Local Sydney removalists may seem like an easy choice when it comes to moving; however, hiring a professional local mover you can trust, who knows the ins and outs of moving locally, or who is experienced in moving interstate, is extremely critical. City Removalists, Sydney's #1 furniture removalist, ensures your moving experience is handled by an experienced team you can trust, and you're protected throughout.
Start with the smallest, lightest items!
In a similar vein, packing and moving all your small, light belongings first will reduce the stress of moving. Bedding, clothing, curtains, cutlery, documents, and toiletries are items you can pack, set aside for your removalists, or load into the boot of your car ahead of moving day.
Keep Your New Home Clean
After the previous occupants pack up and leave, you're going to have to clean your new home, regardless of how great it looked when you viewed it first. Before packing starts at your "old" house, it's a good idea to keep out some cleaning supplies so you can clean your new house without furniture blocking the way. While cleaning your new home, make a list of items that require further attention. The same goes for measuring for new curtains, blinds, and carpeting (or scheduling these services).
Utilities Arrangements
Prepare all your utilities ahead of time to make your Sydney move less stressful. Take a photo of your final meter reading and register with your new broadband, electric, gas, telephone, and water providers beforehand.
Also, you should contact your old providers and let them know you will be moving out. To ensure the account is settled for the new residents, this is an opportunity to pay any final bills.
Get the keys to your new house as soon as possible!
As you arrive at your new home with the moving truck containing all your belongings, you realize you can't enter. You've yet to receive the keys from your agent because she has a family emergency and won't be back for a few days (via her voicemail message).
This type of stress is something nobody wants to experience, so pick up your new home keys as soon as possible before moving day arrives.
Meet your new neighbours and make friends!
Getting to know your new neighbours before you move in is a great way to create a social circle close to your new home. In addition to helping, you settle into your new home, your new friends can provide vital information you may need, like the rubbish collection dates and the location of a cheaper grocer when you move to an area you are unfamiliar with.
